Anybody see that the cheerleaders are suing the NFL, for bad conditions, and the amount of money they make which has always been bad. Most are nurses, or secretaries, they all have jobs, I heard they got like 300$ a game but they would get like 250$ if they did a falcons event, that they want the team to win the Super Bowl the most, because the cheerleaders get like a $10,000 bonus if the team gets there. I bet they win it. I heard this one ex-Atlanta Falcons cheerleader that she became the penthouse Pet of the year, but had the boob job after she left the falcons, they asked her, why didn't you get it done when you were here? She was like Are you kidding, I would knock myself out jumping around with these things. If you look at it from that point of view. Its kind of true. lol

I saw that.. it's been on going for a while now I think.. all sorts of allegations listed in the litigation.. and most of it if not all is true.. I'm rootin' for the Cheerleaders and yes.. they have an excellent chance to win this..

More Cash. I mean its a crappy TV show but on the country TV network they have that show about the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders and its almost cruel what they do to those girls and just for to say, I was a cheerleader, its bullshit they deserve more money, they had it on the show where the shorts did not fit right on this girls ass, they fired her for gaining a ounce. I mean its total bullshit, I hope they win too, they should start a union.

five former Buffalo Bills cheerleaders filed suit against their own team, alleging that the Buffalo Jills were required to perform unpaid work for the team for about 20 hours a week. Unpaid activities included: submitting to a weekly “jiggle test” (where cheer coaches “scrutinized the women's stomach, arms, legs, hips, and butt while she does jumping jacks”); parading around casinos in bikinis “for the gratification of the predominantly male crowd”; and offering themselves up as prizes at a golf tournament, where they were required to sit on men’s laps on the golf carts, submerge themselves in a dunk tank, and perform backflips for tips (which they did not receive). The Buffalo Jills cheerleaders take home just $105 to $1,800 for an entire season on the job.

(according to the suit, the Jills’ guidebook mandates everything from the cheerleaders’ nail polish color to how they clean their vaginas)

The problem is, they've all accepted to get paid that much. That's their problem.

They want change, then they strike or they all quit and the new girls get paid the same too.

It's a no win situation.

They could win, if they formed a union why? What happens in Atlanta every year? Cheerleader tryouts why, they only replace like 4-5 cheerleaders they sometimes have girls 4-5 years, if you look at their bios, their mostly nurses, secretaries. Heck, 20K a year extra when you pay the shittiest guy on the field 300K I would give it to them. Its not like the NFL is hurting. Also if all the teams fired all the cheerleaders whose going to train them? A lot of them its from the girls that are from year before its not like that film where you can go get a bunch of strippers to do it. lol Would be nice, :) but I don't think Arthur Blank would love it. Also you would miss people like Bibiana from the Dolphins.

Do you think that next group of girls wants to work for free? They like the idea of being a cheerleader then once inside will see how the job really is and demand the same compensation. This isn't the first time cheerleaders had demanded this. It is the first time they have gone to court over it. The teams can afford to pay them right and they should. They guys selling hot dogs during games make more money and they aren't considered faces of the franchise.

cheerleaders are faces of the franchise? you could replace them with 400lb guys and nobody would notice. Sure they may be nice to have around for PR events but a vast majority of fans would rather meet and greet the guys on the practice squad than the cheerleaders. Hell, 6 teams don't even have cheerleaders, they are entirely inconsequential to an NFL franchise, which is why they won't get paid shit.

That isn't true. Go to any event for the team. The cheerleaders are there. Go to any team website. The cheerleaders are on the front page. NFL teams and their cheerleaders are bound together. Who makes money off the cheesecake calendars? The cheerleaders? Nope. How many close ups do you see of the cheerleaders during the games? Cheerleaders aren't going anywhere and neither are the lawsuits.

You could put pictures of dicks on a team website and it would still get hits, probably more even. The fuck is a cheesecake calendar? I see more close ups of assholes holding signs at games than I do of cheerleaders, except the assholes don't get paid a dime. Cheerleaders are inconsequential. Every team in the NFL could dump their squad right now and ratings for the NFL would still be higher than ever this season, nobody gives a fat fuck about cheerleaders. In high school I was trying to slide my dick into a few but now, meh. Cheerleaders in the NFL are about as important as marching bands in the NFL... oh wait.

Most cheerleaders don't do it for the pay. They do it for other reason, some of which include a leg up in acting, connections, travel, and a chance to be close to millionaires (good ol'e Gold Digging).

I thought the Deadskins didn't have cheerleaders, but they do and they ALL do, so they could form a union, which I don't know why they wouldn't, The players got one, the Refs have got one, they might as well too, I have read the above comments. I knew a ex-falcons cheerleader and she was a cheerleader for 3 years and its true, in the beginning, they have their own jobs anyway, they just want to be able to say, they were a NFL cheerleader, the coup de grace, is of course to be a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, but to say a cheerleader of any team, but now with all the money its not like their deaf and these guys making millions around them then hearing the NFL makes 9 billion a year, you know they want a tiny slice of the pie. I bet it will happen, just so they won't form a union and shut up. Its like they been doing it free pretty much for awhile, like I said, of anybody in the world that wants their team the most to get to the super bowl is the cheer leaders, ecause they get a 10K bonus. I would too. I would give it to them. Cost a team what, say 40 girls 20 K each. 800K that's not even 3 of the worst players on the team and its coming of the owners pocket not even off the draft money what they make a year that would be like a drop in the bucket and so much free publicity, the owners would look like great guys. that have been screwing with them and being tightwads for the last 40 years.
